planet-x-boy Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I am thinking about getting a koxx "mark vinco" and iv heard by some people that they are amazing and you will get used to them really easy but iv heard by people that they are really hard to get used to and it will totally foook your riding up. If anyone has has a vinco or has riden one can you tell me how they ride and how long it took you to get used to it? Also will it foook my riding up? Thanks alot!!!!!

Martin Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 sorry i dont own one but i have ridden one and i really liked it. i think it depends on what you like because every one is different >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 It has very nice control on the back wheel, (feels like there is no front wheel, it's that nice!) great for rolling up and over stuff. But its too long for me. I'll stick with the 1010wb, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet-x-boy Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Did you get used to the bike straight away or did it take you a while? Also how does it ride on street? And what is it like for gapping, back wheeling and hooking? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I have a friend who has one and I have had a few goes on it. To be honest, I hate it (sorry chris >_< ) It just feels wrong, everything is harder except rear wheel control, which is too easy. The main thing that gets me is that the rear wheel is in a completley different place to where you think it is, like in sidehops, I thought I had gotten high enough, but infact my body position was the same, but the rear wheel was a lot lower than I am used to. same with everyother move. I gues you could get used to it, but I dont see the point, it doesnt make the moves easier with the bb up there. I also think a high bb totally sucks for natural! When on uneven surfaces you need all the balence you can get, with the high bb, your centre of balence is too high, I just tend to fall off on really siple things. I'll stick with my normal frame ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet-x-boy Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 well what i need to no people is will it be to bigger jump going from a 1020mm and 0bb rise zebdi to a 1120 and an 80bb rise? would it take me ages to get used to it and will it cock up my riding? also i have heard that it is good on the back wheel but will it imrpove my overall riding? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'd go for something with about +20mm rise and around 1090 instead, personally. High BB's make it easier on the backwheel, sidehopping and rolling over stuff, but gaps, taps and 2 wheel balance are harder. Unless you're a full on UCI rider i'd go somewhere in the middle. If you're intending on bunnyhopping/manualing it, look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
